 Solution

The unilateral Laplace transform is $\bar{f}(p)={\int }_0^{\infty }{e}^{-pt}f(t)dt$ in its region of absolute convergence of a Laplace transform. Under the usual inversion hypotheses, the Bromwich inversion formula isThe vertical Bromwich contour is directed upward, with $c$ inside the transform's convergence half-plane and to the right of all its singularities. At discontinuities the standard symmetric inversion gives the mean of the one-sided values.

For a piecewise continuously differentiable $f$ with an integrable transformed derivative, integration by parts gives the Laplace transform of a derivative:Here the upper endpoint vanishes by the given decay condition, and right continuity at zero supplies the lower endpoint.
